○ germany’s growing power and britain’s desperate need
○ britain’s growing power and china’s desperate need
○ germany’s growing power and japan’s desperate need
○ britain’s growing power and germany’s desperate need

Explanation:

To determine what made it increasingly difficult for President Roosevelt to stay neutral during World War II, we analyze the options:

• Option 1 (Germany’s growing power and Britain’s desperate need) is correct. Germany's expansion (e.g., Blitzkrieg, control of Europe) and Britain's struggle (needing aid like Lend - Lease) pressured Roosevelt to move from neutrality, as the US had economic and ideological ties to Britain.
• Option 2 (Britain’s growing power and China’s desperate need) is wrong. Britain was weakened, not growing, in WWII.
• Option 3 (Germany’s growing power and Japan’s desperate need) is wrong. Japan was aggressive, not in desperate need for aid from the US - related neutrality context.
• Option 4 (Britain’s growing power and Germany’s desperate need) is wrong. Britain was not growing, and Germany was aggressive, not desperate for US - related neutrality - breaking factors.

Answer:

A. Germany’s growing power and Britain’s desperate need
